The IAB Europe OBA Framework

The IAB Europe OBA Framework is based upon 7 key principles for online behavioural
advertising: notice, user choice, data security, sensitive segmentation, education, compliance and enforcement, and
review. An objective of the IAB Europe OBA Framework is to secure the future of Online Behavioural Advertising as an
effective business practice in the toolbox of marketers, by ensuring that internet users can understand and control
the OBA choices they make online.

The recommendations set out in this document provide an addendum to the original IAB EU Framework on OBA (please see

apply the Framework’s principles – notably notice and choice – in the mobile environment.

The EASA Best Practice Recommendation on Online Behavioural Advertising

The
EASA Best Practice Recommendation on Online Behavioural Advertising builds on the IAB Europe OBA
Framework and provides an industry-wide standard for OBA, ensuring that the entire advertising ecosystem is
covered. With the adoption of the Best Practice Recommendation, national advertising self-regulatory
organisations commit to applying self-regulatory standards for OBA, integrating the principles of the
recommendation into their Codes, and handling complaints thereon.

in support of the European Self-Regulatory Principles for OBA. This document is complementary1 to the

The Self-Certification Criteria for Participating Companies

The Self-Certification Criteria for Participating Companies document
aims to provide companies participating in the EU Self-Regulatory Programme on OBA with a
comprehensive set of criteria for self-certification of compliance. Self-certification of compliance
shall be limited to those requirements applicable to each participant’s business model; however,
should a participant company be subject to multiple obligations, self-certification must cover all
such applicable provisions. In other words, if a company fulfils more than one role in the
advertising eco-system, then it should comply with the requirements applicable to each of these
roles.
